We are excited to offer the Anticancer Lifestyle Program in September at Wellspring Westerkirk House at Sunnybrook (on same campus as Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre)! “Wellspring is a network of community-based support centres offering programs and services that meet the emotional, social, practical and restorative needs of people living with cancer and those who care for them.”
Since 1997, Pinewood Natural Health Centre has helped people navigate the challenges of conventional cancer treatment and manage the impact of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy on their overall health and lifestyle using complementary and integrative therapies. Under the care of one of Naturopathic Doctors your health is reviewed to determine the best complementary therapies for you throughout your healing journey. Our complementary and integrative therapies include naturopathic medicine, biological medicine, botanicals and homeopathy, IV therapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, and lifestyle education.
The Anticancer Lifestyle Program is a natural extension of the complementary cancer care and primary health care we provide to residents of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The core topics – diet, mindset, change, fitness and environmental influences – are the foundations of Naturopathic Medicine with the end goal of health promotion and disease prevention.
We are honoured and excited to share this healing journey with you!
